HC Deb 29 January 1993 vol 217 c887W
Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what cost benefit analysis he has made into the Exchequer contribution to the cost of the legal fees he incurred in relation to his former tenant.

Mr. Nelson

The basis on which this payment was made was set out in the answer which I gave to the right hon. and learned Member for Aberavon (Mr. Morris) on 8 December,Official Report, column 571. It was subsequently described in the memorandum to the PAC by the Comptroller and Auditor General and covered in oral evidence given by the accounting officer at the PAC hearing on 25 January. I have nothing further to add.
